The Hub of Detroit Website
I’ve wanted to help out our community bikeshop in the Cass area for while, so I finally arranged a trade where they would fix up a bike in exchange for some website work. We’ve replace their site with a Joomla installation (also giving me some additional experience with wrangling Joomla) and it’s a definate improvement. Check it out at http://www.thehubofdetroit.org/. It’s still in need of some serious design work, but that is on the way complete with an improved logo. The main piece of work left for me is the implementation of a ‘bike registry’ system. Basically this will combine a way for the shop itself to keep track of serial numbers of bikes they sell and a way for people in the community to show off their bikes. This way it can help to verify ownership and deter theft, as well as fostering excitement and interest about what’s going on with bicycles in Detroit. I’ve got a basic version of the component to achieve this already done, so expect something very soon.
